{"product_id":"ls2-ff818-storm-iii-dynamo-black-hv-yellow-helmet","title":"LS2 FF818 Storm III Helmet – Dynamo Black\/Hi-Vis Yellow","description":"\u003cp\u003eFluorescent yellow exists because human eyes find it before anything else on the road. On the Dynamo panels it covers enough area to register in a mirror rather than reading as a stripe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eEverything that is usually an extra\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLook at what is included before you look at the price. The Pinlock 70 MaxVision insert — the part most manufacturers make you buy separately — is supplied. So is a drop-down tinted sun visor with a tool-free removal system, and a magnetic chin curtain. Bought individually those three add most of a hundred euros to a helmet that does not have them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Dynamo Black\/Hi-Vis Yellow finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the most conspicuous Storm III, and the matt coat helps rather than hinders: it scatters light evenly instead of throwing one hot highlight, which keeps the fluorescent area readable from wider angles and in flat winter light. Fluorescent pigments fade faster than ordinary paint under UV, so this is the one decor genuinely worth keeping out of a sunny window. If you commute in traffic, no other finish here does as much work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA large top intake, and what it feeds\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVentilation is chin-and-crown with the crown doing most of the work: LS2 sized the top intake generously and cut channels through the EPS to carry the air across the scalp instead of stalling it under the shell. Rear exhausts create the pressure difference that makes the whole thing move. The breath deflector is the small part that stops a cold morning from fogging the visor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe release you hope never to need\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRatchet buckle, reinforced strap, emergency cheek-pad release and a button lock that holds the visor shut at speed. The release is the item worth understanding: it exists for the minutes after a crash, when someone else has to get the helmet off you, and it is the difference between the pads coming out and the helmet being forced over a possibly injured neck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTwo screens, one shell\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe visor is cut for maximum field of view, hardcoated against scratches, UV-stable and sealed by a double-injection gasket. It locks shut with a positive button catch, changes without tools, and the supplied Pinlock 70 MaxVision insert takes care of fogging from the first cold morning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat the ECE 22.06 plaque actually means\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ECE 22.06 plaque riveted to the chin strap is the physical proof of a test regime that changed substantially in 2021. Impact points went from five to as many as eighteen. Testing gained a second, lower speed, because a helmet that performs at 8 m\/s does not automatically perform at 6. And an oblique test was added: the shell is dropped onto an angled abrasive anvil while instruments measure rotational acceleration against the Brain Injury Criterion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverything fitted to the helmet is tested as fitted — visor, sun visor, vent covers. Since January 2024, no helmet without 22.06 may be sold new in the EU, which is also why 22.05 stock disappeared from shelves so abruptly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFit and shell sizes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3 shell sizes cover XXS to 3XL. On a helmet built around a single shell, the smallest size carries a mid-size shell's worth of polystyrene: it looks oversized, it weighs more than it should, and the EPS is thicker than the size needs. Splitting the range across 3 tools avoids that at both ends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe bit you actually touch\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA breathable, hypoallergenic, antibacterial lining that lifts out for washing, a magnetic chin curtain that closes the gap under the chin bar, and moulded pockets for a Bluetooth intercom. This is the equipment level that separates the Storm III from the two cheaper LS2 full-face helmets we list.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOn noise\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWind noise is the specification manufacturers never quote, because it depends more on your bike than on their helmet. What the helmet controls is the seal at the neck roll, the gap under the chin bar and the vents. The chin curtain here is magnetic, which is not a gimmick: a popper-fastened curtain gets left off after the second cleaning, and a curtain that is not fitted does nothing. The sun-visor housing does widen the shell slightly at the temples compared with a helmet without one, which is a small aerodynamic cost for a large practical gain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat it does not control is the airflow leaving your screen. If a helmet is loud on one motorcycle and quiet on another, the screen is usually the reason. Plugs cost a euro and do more than any shell shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e1600 grams, and what it buys\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1600 grams is the heaviest figure in our entire LS2 range, and it is worth being honest about why: a drop-down sun visor, its slider mechanism and housing, a Pinlock-equipped Max Vision visor and an emergency-release liner all weigh something. This is the trade the Storm III makes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1600 grams, measured the way manufacturers measure it: a mid-size shell without accessories. It sounds abstract until you convert it into load. A head weighs roughly five kilos; the helmet adds around a third of that, and every bump in the road multiplies the lot through your neck. The difference between 1600 g and the 1280 g of the FF805 Thunder is not noticeable in the first hour and is very noticeable in the fifth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor context inside this range: just 5 helmets we sell are lighter, and every one of them costs more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere it sits in our LS2 range\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEight LS2 full-face models are listed here and they form a ladder rather than a wall of choices.
